Reply to comment by Theamuse_Ourania in OHSU scientists discover mechanism of hearing by TequillaShotz
That's really awful. They can make tiny prosthetic ear bones now, and even shape those that have bone spurs or incorrect shapes. But complete encasing? That would be a problem. This mechanism unfortunately doesn't really help the situation of those like you yet. The best bet would be bypassing the "external" mechanics and going with something like a cochlear implant.
Hearing research is way behind other health fields, makes me very sad since it affects so many people.
